About the Book:Here is a man who was born in the stark hills of Vermont; who was reared in the backwoods of New York; who never looked inside a college or high school; who lived in six States, no one of which would own him during his lifetime; who spent months in the vile prisons of the period; who, even when he had his freedom, was hounded like a fugitive; who was covered once with a coat of tar and feathers, and left for dead; who, with his following, was driven by irate neighbors from New York to Ohio, from Ohio to Missouri, and from Missouri to Illinois; and who, at the unripe age of thirty-eight, was shot to death by a mob with painted faces. Yet this man became mayor of the biggest town in Illinois and the state's most prominent citizen, the commander of the largest body of trained soldiers in the nation outside the Federal army, the founder of cities and of a university, and aspired to become President of the United States. He wrote a book which has baffled the literary critics for a hundred years and which is today more widely read than any other volume save the Bible. On the threshold of an organizing age he established the most nearly perfect social mechanism in the modern world, and developed a religious philosophy that challenges anything of the kind in history, for completeness and cohesion. And he set up the machinery for an economic system that would take the brood of Fears out of the heart of man—the fear of want through sickness, old age, unemployment, and poverty. In thirty nations are men and women who look upon him as a greater leader than Moses and a greater prophet than Isaiah. His disciples now number close to a million; and already a granite shaft pierces the sky over the place where he was born, and another over the place where he is credited with having received the inspiration for his Book. A Book Review:5/5 Stars - Joseph Smith an American ProphetI read this years ago and loved it. I bought it for my niece who is wanting to know more about J. Smith and thought this would be great for her to read, I am also reading it again and enjoying it very much. Thanks! Helen & James E. Starr 4/5 Stars - An honest man!This book covers Joseph Smith's personal, political, and religious life. When you are finished reading it, you cannot deny that Joseph Smith was an honest man.--Jill Browne Copyright © 2018-2022 TDM Inc. The photos and text in this listing are copyrighted.
